The Willapa National Wildlife Refuge Art Trail is a sight to behold

Looking for an outing during the long Thanksgiving weekend? The Willapa National Wildlife Refuge Art Trail is great way to get out and work off some of Thursday’s Thanksgiving feast. Originally created to celebrate a small stream restoration in the refuge, the art trail attracts thousands of visitors annually. It’s located just over 10 miles north of Long Beach, Washington, on U.S Highway 101; turn into the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge headquarters at milepost 24. There’s ample parking, a colorful billboard-size map of who’s where and what’s ZKHUH D WHUUD]]R DQG VWHHO GUDJRQÀ \ SLFQLF WD ble with benches representing other local wildlife, and restrooms to boot. The refuge’s Art Trail has the honor of being WKH ¿ UVW ZLOGOLIH interpretive art trail in the United States. Five University of Washington Public Arts Program undergraduates, a couple of their instructors and a few seasoned artists spent the spring and the summer of 2003 designing, constructing and installing the project commissioned by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs the refuge.

Artwork found along it abounds with stories of the steam and the wildlife that call it home.

In 2004, the boardwalk added additional footage over a salmon stream. In 2007, more area-inspired art was created and installed. In 2009, yet more art arrived, including an aptly named steel, bronze, paint and concrete seven-piece sculpture, a pedestrian â€?Phytoplanktonâ€? entry gate. According to information gathered by the Friends of the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, phytoplankton is a primary producer nourishing all life at the estuary. Rust is currently having its coastal way with a portion of the gate, which has been removed for repair. But half of it provides an appreciation of the artist’s work, which sets the tone for the Art Trail. It’s refresh-

ing to learn from refuge Manager Jackie Ferrier that as the trail continues to evolve, rust and its natural forces are responsible for the needed gate repair — not vandals. As solemn promises of no over-eating this Thanksgiving cave in to familiar rituals, aromas and a day full of tasting, snacking, drinking, feasting and — well, yes, generally some happy groaning — bring on the weekend outings and the exercise. A little or a lot: The Willapa National Wildlife Refuge Art Trail has something for everyone, as the boardwalk connects into an optional more-challenging, more-calorie-burning Cutthroat Climb Trail. It’s a 0.75-mile steep up-and-down natural path loop that climbs to the headwaters of a stream where cutthroat trout are thriving. Towering forest, the Willapa Bay estuary, marshy grasslands, wandering streams, path-

Tale as old as time...

Story by JON BRODERICK Submitted photos by GEORGE VETTER / Cannon-Beach.net

If you scurried past the Coaster Theatre about 7 p.m. on that cold east-windy Friday night a couple of weeks ago, your hands jammed deep in your pockets and your scarf wrapped snug about your neck, you might have noticed a cozy, festive crowd taking their seats inside. And if promises to keep kept you from opening night, you might make plans to join that crowd at the theater a little later this holiday season. Lisa Fergus makes her directing debut as she and a cast of 26 present the musical Disney’s “Beauty and the Beastâ€? at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach. “Beauty and the Beastâ€? has enjoyed various incarnations since Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont wrote her fairy tale “La Belle et la BĂŞteâ€? nearly 250 years ago. Though French students and ciQHSKLOHV PD\ NQRZ -HDQ &RFWHDXÂśV GDUN Âż OP version, no version has seized and retained modern attention like Walt Disney’s playful 1991 animation. “Who’s not familiar with it?â€? wonders Coaster Theatre Executive Director Patrick Lathrop. Nearly all of us are, and Lathrop expects to attract a diverse audience of folks just like us who cherish their memories of the Disney animation. Amanda Payne is Belle, the precocious, independent-minded daughter of the village’s eccentric inventor, Maurice (David Hayes), who trades captive places with her father in a bewitched castle where the good-natured denizens are slowly but certainly becoming household objects, and the prince (Richard Bowman) an unsightly beast, unOHVV KH Âż QGV WUXH ORYH SUHWW\ VRRQ 7KDW PDJ LFDO URVH LV ORVLQJ LWV Âż QDO SHWDOV The Coaster Theatre — whose recent holiday musicals have included “Scrooge! The Musical,â€? Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas,â€? “My Fair Ladyâ€? and “Hello Dolly,â€? all ambitious shows beloved by a great spectrum of theater fans — had been considering Disney’s “Beauty and the Beastâ€? for its holiday musical for a couple of years before it was able to secure it for 2014. Those of us who simply show up to enjoy productions sometimes don’t appreciate the business decisions involved in producing Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,â€? a show that, unlike, for example, one of Shakespeare’s plays, isn’t yet part of the public domain. The Coaster must acquire performance rights to assure that the theater won’t be competing with other performances in the region. Then the theater must pay royalties of up to $400 per performance.

“Musicals are more expensive than plays because there are more creators to pay,â€? Lathrop explains. “The more popular the musical, the more expensive royalties are.â€? Furthermore, Disney exercises tight control over details such as who may sponsor the show. “We’ve never had anybody want to approve our sponsors before, but,â€? he concedes, “it makes sense.â€? Lathrop, who also designs the sets and costumes, has recreated costumes and sets as close to the original as the Coaster Theatre’s intimate conditions allow. His attention to the details of the villagers’ French provincial clothing and to the baroque lines of the human furniture is painstaking. “We want people to come and see what they’re expecting to see when they think of Disney and ‘Beauty and the Beast,’â€? he says. But it wasn’t easy. “This show needed an engineer because I had to develop geometric shapes, not just costumes,â€? he explains. Most of the characters, such as Lumière the candelabra, aren’t human-shaped. “We’ve got a teapot, a clock, salt and pepper shakers, a beer stein.

One character is a wardrobe. I couldn’t see how ZH FRXOG Âż W KHU EDFNVWDJH so I went for the vanity look,â€? Lathrop says. “The bottom half of her is furniture, but the top half is still human. The actress, poor thing, she can’t sit down.â€? Fans of the Disney animation will recognize their favorite songs. Ellen Blankenship, who plays the kindly teakettle Mrs. Potts, sings the show’s eponymous theme song. “’Beauty and the Beast’ is the iconic song from the musical,â€? she says. “Right up there with ‘Climb Every Mountain’ from ‘The Sound of Music,’â€? which Blankenship has also performed.

Bowman, the Beast, on the other hand, doesn’t entirely concur. “I was surprised when I saw the sheet music,â€? he says. “‘If I Can’t Love Her’ has been one of my staples since I was 17.

If ever there’s a season to celebrate fantasy, make-believe and fairy tales, the next festive weeks are it. So some weekend soon, you might scuttle down to the Coaster, out of the cold and into the theater to join that crowd for an evening rekindling fond memories of old Disney friends.

Vanilla Refrigerator Cookies (with variations) Want to get a jump on your holiday cookies. These easy refrigerator cookies can be prepped ahead, then refrigerated for several days or frozen for several months until the moment (or craving) is right. The recipe also is exceptionally versatile. Start to finish: 3 1/2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 4 1/2 to 5 dozen cookies 1 vanilla bean 3/4 cup sugar 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 large egg 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon table salt Powdered sugar (optional) Directions 1. Using a paring knife, cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Use the tip of the knife to scrape the seeds out of the pod and into a medium bowl. Discard the pod. Add the sugar and butter, then use an electric mixer to beat on medium until the mixture is light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat for another 2 minutes. 2. In a second bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat just until combined. Cover and chill until firm enough to be shaped, about 1 hour. 3. Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Place a 12inch piece of kitchen parchment on the counter. Set one piece of the dough on the parchment, then use the parchment to shape the dough into a log about 2 inches in diameter and about 10 inches long. Wrap the dough in the parchment,

twisting the ends to seal. Repeat with the remaining piece of dough using a second sheet of parchment. 4. Refrigerate the wrapped dough for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days. The dough also can be frozen for up to 3 months. 5. Heat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. 6. Remove the dough logs from the refrigerator and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Arrange the rounds 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake just until the edges start to become golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool. Pack in an airtight container. Serve lightly dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.

Variations: Lemon: Use 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract in place of the vanilla bean, and add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons grated lemon zest to the flour mixture. Orange: Follow the lemon variation directions, but substitute orange zest and juice for the lemon zest and juice. Ginger: Add 1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger and 2 teaspoons ground ginger to the flour mixture. These may not slice neatly once frozen, but just pat them back together on the baking sheet. Peanut butter: Add 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter to the butter mixture and increase the flour by 2 tablespoons. Double chocolate: Substitute 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa for the cornstarch, eliminate the vanilla bean and add just 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 2 cups semisweet chocolate mini-chips to the flour mixture. This will make 6 dozen cookies because of the added chips.

Trail’s End features Lou Kister Lucy’s Books hosts local authors Saturday Octogenarian shows art this December Indies First supports authors and independent bookstores GEARHART — Lou Kister is the main gallery featured artist for December at the Trail’s End Art Association. Her work will include watercolors and acrylics. There will be a reception during the Gearhart Art Walk from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. During the reception, Kister will be available to discuss her painting techniques. Refreshments will be served, and the public is welcome to browse the Trail’s End gallery with an all-new exhibit featuring photography, oil painting, acrylic, watercolors, jewelry and more. Though current octogenarian Kister loved to draw as a child, for a long time the only art classes she took were in elementary school. During her 30 years teaching English to middle schoolers, Kister was concerned about how to encourage her students to develop new skills. She decided to share her own efforts of learning something new, so she enrolled in a summer watercolor class at Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington, in 1988. Continuing the class for three years, Kister was able to challenge herself and share her progress with students. After retiring in October 2001 and moving to the North Coast, Kister went on a tour of Italy was inspired to continue to pursue her love of art. In

will host local authors Nov. 29 as Small Business Saturday, recognizing a movement called Indies First. Launched by noted author Sherman Alexie, Indies First encourages authors to volunteer at their local store, to give back some of the support that independent bookstores have traditionally given to authors.

Find nonstop hilarity in holiday whodunit ‘The Game’s Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays’ shows in Tillamook “Geese at Sunset” by Lou Kister.

January 2002 she enrolled at Clatsop Community College, taking art history and two-dimensional art classes. In 2003, Kister joined Trail’s End Art Association to continue working in art and have year-round contact with other artists. “I convinced my students and myself, you can teach an old dog new tricks,” she says.

TILLAMOOK— The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts announces its latest production, Ken Ludwig’s “The Game’s Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays,” directed by R. A. Coon. This show is made possible by the generosity of Haltiner Heating & Sheet Metal and with support from the Oregon Community Foundation. It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play “Sherlock Holmes,”

has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is mysteriously murdered the festivities quickly turn dangerous. It is up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays. Starring in this production are Robert Kratz, San-

dra Koops, RJ Wynia, Briar Smith, Steele Fleisher, Barbi Fox, Sarah Edwards and Robert Buckingham. Show dates are Nov. 28, 29, 30 and Dec. 5 and 6. Friday and Saturday shows start at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. Tickets can be purchased at the door, or call Diamond Art Jewelers at 503-842-7940. The Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy Ave. For more information, call 503-842-6305,

Ursus americanus

The American black bear By LYNETTE RAE McADAMS Of the three species of bears that inhabit North America (black, brown and polar), the black bear is the smallest and most widely distributed, with thriving populations throughout the U.S., Canada, and parts of Mexico. Besides Alaska, the states of Oregon and Washington are home to the highest concentrations in this nation, and sightings are common along our rural coastline. Ironically, black bears are often brown or cinnamon-colored and, sometimes, even white. True omnivores, they eat berries, grasses, nuts, insect larvae and carrion, but can develop a dangerous love for human food and garbage.

Color vision lets them see quite well, and they also have a heightened sense of hearing, registering tones in the ultrasonic range; their sense of smell is seven times stronger than that of a bloodhound. Mature black bears weigh between 125 and 600 pounds, can run up to 35 mph, and are competent tree climbers and swimmers, capable of paddling more than 1.5 miles in freshwater. Intelligent and curious, they have excellent navigation skills and a remarkable longterm memory (it doesn’t just seem like they’ve memorized the garbage truck’s route — they actually have). In cold regions, black bears enter full hibernation during October and November, but in milder climates, like ours, they spend the season in “torpor,” which is less like deep sleep and more like prolonged lethargy. Pregnant black bears preparing for winter can consume 15,000 calories per day, then eat nothing for up to seven months. With a re-

liable food source, they give birth every other year to two or three cubs, who are born mid-winter within the den, then emerge in spring with their famously protective mothers. Though black bears are naturally shy and easily frightened, they can cause injury if threatened, and they absolutely hate surprises. To avoid startling a bear, speak loudly and clap your hands, especially near wooded areas. If you encounter one, stay calm and DO NOT RUN; back slowly away from the bear, making a wide detour and offering room for its escape. Bears that become habituated to human food at campsites, trash cans, and in rural neighborhoods, can sometimes become dangerous and must be removed or euthanized. It is always irresponsible to feed a bear. Please remember: In the long run, “a fed bear is a dead bear.”

noun 1. a small, ruby-red, acidic berry used in cooking or the heath plant from which it grows. Cranberries are boiled down into sauces and jellies, smashed and strained into drinks, or heated through in baked goods Origin: 1647. American English, most likely borrowed from the Low German, kraanbere; kraan meaning “crane” and bere meaning “berry.” “Washington boasts 4 percent of the U.S. cranberry acreage, but produces less than 2 percent of the berries. Yields are higher in the other cranberry producing states — Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Oregon, where cranberries grow on the sunnier southern coast.” —Don Jenkins, “Cranberry Bog Blues,” Coast River Business Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 11, November 2014, P. 6

“Oregon housewives if they are truly patriotic will include cranberry pie, cranberry sauce, cranberry relish and cranberries in every other form known to culinary experts, in their daily menus the coming Winter, according to the state food administration. The 1918 cranberry crop was the largest ever known in Oregon. With the crop a huge one, transportation facilities to Eastern markets are inadequate. Much of the crop will be wasted unless it can be consumed in the state, say food administration officials.” —“Eat Cranberries, is Plea,” Morning Oregonian, Saturday, November 23, 1918, P. 20

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Breakfast at Cho-Ho The breakfast at Charlie’s Chowder House, or Cho-Ho as a secret legion of local philosophers call it, is the most nourishing existential experience in Astoria. It’s like accidentally eating meringue before running a marathon and then recording your best time. Located at 14th Street and Marine Drive, Cho-Ho is distinguished by a diorama of sharks menacing a mermaid/ Barbie surfer girl decorating a window near one of the two main entrances. Of course it is impossible for a restaurant to have two main entrances. It goes against everything the word “main” stands for. Nevertheless, the Cho-Ho does have two. Cho-Ho’s existential fare is good and cheap: • Occasionally, it won’t be open when it’s supposed to be open. • Sometimes, there is no ketchup. • Infrequently, there are no menus. • Sporadically, an erroneous order is delivered despite the presence of no other customers. • Often, bacon refuses to make an appearance when so desired. • Irregularly, bacon puts

in appearance when it is not desired. • The staff never seems to be the same except for the cook, a puppet master in his spare time. • There is no observable management strategy to the Cho-Ho’s operation. It apparently is managed as cosmic randomness sees fit. • The nomadic regulars who hang around outside the Cho unceasingly discuss Sartre although they never mention Sartre by name and are still waiting for what they never ordered. Let me just say this for the record: If I ever detect a shred of consistency, a smidgen of efficiency or even the regular distribution of menus or condiments, I am never going back to the ChoHo, but I will keep tipping for all limited eternity to honor the superb breakfast I often eat with nothing destined about a rational breakfast whatsoever. Finally, some concrete journalist truth about ChoHo: The breakfast here really is one of my favorite things about living in Astoria. The food is good, and I always leave happy and with a new story to tell.

Matt Love is author/editor of 12 books about Oregon. They are available at all coastal bookstores or through www.nestuccaspitpress.com. He lives in Astoria.
